Simply Perfect

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

As a fan of the show, I watched this movie. Despite how cheap it is, its actually pretty creative. With a higher budget and better direction, this movie could've been better. I was entertained when I watched, but I do remember finding that some scenes could've been a bit polished. Its not as bad as some other movies based on TV shows, but it could've been better.

The plot was cute and believable up until the end. Basically, this movie was focused on the constant tension between the twins, AKA Cody's constant know-it-all attitude and Zack's slacker, let's-disrupt-everything personality. In this movie, it comes to a boil when Zack kills Cody's summer internship opportunity and Cody declares "We may be twins, but we aren't brothers". Zack finds a new internship, though: Once focused on the relationship between twins. At this internship, they eat this "magic fruit" that allows them to feel what the other is feeling, mentally and physically, which inevitably fixes their relationship.Of course.This is where things get weird: The scientist running the entire thing has a master plan of making a set of twins have one mind, and then making each set of twins able to be controlled by one mind. It ends up with the Sprouse twins randomly being able to read each others minds, the other twins coming after them, zombie-like, while chanting "Get Zack and Cody", and then them being strapped to these tables that supposedly causes their minds to merge into one.While this is happening, the other kids from the ship and the scientist who controlled Cody's original internship somehow manage to sneak into the lab without any of the zombie twins stopping them, and we find out that the evil scientist and the other internship scientist are twins! And the mad scientist had these weird skin masks that allowed him to change his face at will! Before we find this out, though, the machine is turned out and Zack and Cody's "souls" come out of them and have an epic floating fight about who's brain should be dominant. Supposedly, their fighting breaks the machine and the scientists figure out their problems and Bailey lassos the mad scientist and Mr. Mosbey shows up just in time with the police to save everyone.And they live happily ever after, the end.One thing I have to give the Sprouse twins is that they did a good job with the ridiculous plot they were given. Even with the stupid lines and odd antics and just overall weirdness, their characters were believable. Cringe-worth, but believable.6/10, for the good beginning and good acting.

Just when I thought Dylan and Cole Sprouse would never do a DCOM, they finally did, and I thought it was really cool. The story was well structured, Dylan and Cole's acting was much more professional than in the show, plus it was also very interesting to have Zack and Cody portrayed in a more serious light. This movie definitely had some surprises, considering that it was from the director of the Even Stevens Movie, but it's true that they could've focused on other characters besides Zack and Cody. As usual, Phill Lewis did great as Moseby, and Brenda Song does a great job as well. The movie was also a good opportunity for the filmmakers to mend and sort of add new development to Zack and Cody's brotherly relationship, and as a result, they learned to understand each other better. Overall great film, I give it a 9/10.

The movie was better than I expected. I would like the movie to surround more of the boat instead of something that had nothing to do with the show. Dylan and Cole's acting was probably the best, in the movie there was a lot of suspense and action. Even though the beginning was slow, there was a great, big finish. The plot was a bit unrealistic but pulled me right in the movie. The few things I didn't like about it is that the camera was shot at weird angles and there was too much music being played in the background. There was great comedy and acting. I loved the whole movie and thought it was one of the best Disney movies I seen. Any Sprouse fan would love this movie.
